Crown Vics wouldn't cut the grade. If you want to get decent boot space you can't go past a Holden. You can hide the entire Kardashian/West clan in one of those and there would still be enough room for a few sheep as well. (After all, us Kiwis aren't complete monsters. Our sheep are very sophisticated and well bred creatures.)

How big is a Holden's trunk?! A Crown Vic has about 20.6 cubic feet in its trunk! I was barely kidding when I said you could use one as an apartment, speaking as a person who was robbed and locked in the trunk of one. I've managed to fit four military dufflebags, two non military dufflebags, three backpacks, two suitcases, and two laptop bags into a Crown Vic's trunk before.

Possum explicare vobis, sed Ego aliter comprehendere non illam tibi.I can explain it to you, but I can't understand it for you.

This is the kind of car I was referring to. Holden Kingswood. Our family never owned one but our neighbours did. Those boots were big enough that the local gangs used them for house robberies as they could load everything of value into the boot and still have room left for their drug stashes.

These Australian made cars were made for hauling people and stuff in the Australian Outback. They also made great taxis because they had so much room in the boot for luggage.

(The photo's angle doesn't do justice to the boot size. Also the model is not the New Zealand version which was slightly different to the one in the photo.)

I've finally gone out and invited some people to check this site out. You have now been warned.

(While writing this there was an earthquake which reminds me of another use they were put to that would shock the average health and safety inspector today: in emergencies they were used for gas barbeques.)
